About
This is a text-to-speech voice model for American English. The voice is Miro, a male voice. It uses the Piper VITS architecture, exported to ONNX for CPU inference. It was fine-tuned from the base voice pipertts_en-GB_miro, the closest available language for this voice.
This is a Piper VITS voice, in ONNX format. Use it with any Piper-compatible runtime, or with ovos-tts-plugin-piper in OVOS:
{
"tts": {
"module": "ovos-tts-plugin-piper",
"ovos-tts-plugin-piper": {
"voice": "OpenVoiceOS/pipertts_en-US_miro"
}
}
}
Command line, with the piper package installed:
echo "Good morning, how are you?" | piper --model OpenVoiceOS/pipertts_en-US_miro --output_file output.wav

How it works
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys pipertts-en-us-miro for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (pipertts-en-us-miro below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
